    Pretty much what I figured, just wanted to know which would actually do more dmg.

    Don't actually have hyaline, but am hoping for nares soonish, so it'll all be moot.

    Or Nares for the recast, along with INT+12 MAB+5 M.Crit+5% and Conserve MP+5.

    Daggers

    I think it is Relic+2 feet unless you have double marches then Athos.

    Went ahead and put together a set for Mercy Stroke last night, but I don't know what to use for legs since I don't have N legs, whirlwind dirs, etc.

    For body I do not have n body, toci's (I have tried, yah know...), or athos.

    Mandau/Str magian/Boomerang/-
    N head/Shadow gorget/Flame pearl/Brutal (replace with a flame pearl?)
    Lokis/Raiders +2/pyrosoul/rajas
    Cerb +1/Shadow belt/Athos?/N feet

    EDIT: (Not going to pay over 5m each for a vulcans pearl, I just don't feel its worth it)

    all the body your missing are easily accessible now. You can easily buy a n body too

    athos drop easy as well since people know how to do rex finally, and you can do 6 in a row. imo that body drop way alot more than toci. Jeuno I's tier 3 all had aweful drop rate.

    same for whirlwind dirs, that pants drop like every 20 runs on average

    imo you should get those 2 at least

    as for other slots, just go all out STR

    Windbuffet should slightly win unless you need accuracy.
    Epona should also win.

    Good thing I haven't bought the pyrosoul ring. I was going to today.

    That's what I get for browsing the FFXIAH Mercy Stroke thread...

    So,, I got aggroed by an orc in Dynamis Quifim while killing Stringes and it dropped the Assassins Poul-, poulaines? poullaines? FEET LETS GO WITH FEET. I have well over 100 steps laying around in my Mog Storage I am need to either use up or start selling.

    Would it be worth using them in my existing TP set on THF (no aspirations or chance of obtaining neo-nyzul gear anytime soon)? I read about the +2 feet awhile back and really didn't get a definitive answer. Seemed like some back and forth sometimes its better here, sometimes its better there, excels on fodder, etc,etc.

    As far as I know, even with Thaumas gear, +2 feet have a place. Pretty sure someone did the maths on your set and +2 feet were better too unless you had marches.

    So back to the Meteor discussion (forget if it was this thread or another), what would be considered the best Meteor build? Assume any equipment in the game is available, except Laevateinn and like augmented HQ legion abjuration gear or something.

    For reference, the damage was found to be approximated by: MAB x (INT + skill/6) x 3.5

    Also, for reference, a naked BLM has a base of 40 MAB (1.4x)

    For starters, it would seem Nares body beats Anhur, and Dorje beats Maleficus. Just trying to wrap my mind around all the different slots, to see if I'm missing anything obvious since Meteor has such a different damage formula.

    I quit a long time a go so I am completely out of the loop.

    Me and a friend are curious - Since the release of Resolution and the demand for Ragnarok increasing. Whats better? Ukon or Rag (for warrior obviously)

    There is no weapon but Ukon

    I saw this and then looked for the like button, to much time on OF lately I think.

    EDIT: It was basically determined Ragnarok can only beat Ukon with MS up and if you're getting 1 or less attack rounds between WS's. So for like super buffed zerg fights if you have Ragnarok you can use it during mighty strikes then switch to Ukon after. Or just use Upheaval during MS and come out 1% behind or something.

    What buffs you planning on having? If someone else hasn't made something by the time I get back from work I'll make one. Or tweak someone elses. Oh and what about non augmented new abj?

    Well, actual best-in-slot would be worth mentioning, along with runners up when it comes to legion abjurations. Everyone's had plenty of time to get VW and Nyzul gear, but Legion is far from mastered at this time.

    Which is better nowadays, relic or empyreans?
    More specifically on dagger? and also GA I guess? Taking into account all hidden effect and aftermaths.

    If it varies at different stages(90/95/99) feel free to mention
